This week is Shark week! Discovery channel's long running event with special programming was originally created to bring awareness and raise respect for the maligned shark. They are dying in droves, with their fins cruelly hacked off all for shark's fin soup. So it seems appropriate for these faux shark jewelry tutorials. Fun for all ages! These tutorials can be applied to make other shapes not just sharks and their teeth!

Kariand over on Craftinomiconchose to use a neon colored shrink plastic for her faux shark necklace. But the plain variety (with or without your own coloring) will also work. As I mentioned above, it doesn't have to be a shark shape. So have some fun!

Using the shark silhouette template for polymer clay is another easy option. This tutorial is by Diary of a Mad Crafter.

It was rather quieter this year than in previous years. But I thought it was worth mentioning to raise awareness because of the extreme cruelty they are facing. Far more sharks (millions) are killed by humans than the other way around.
